Final stretch for the SWS PC-12.

[guibru]

Programming for September, SWS encounters some quirks that they must solve before hoping that the PC-12 is ready for approval from Pilatus. To summarize the main functions of the product.

Aircraft Systems: All systems are now complete. The team is optimistic that no major problems will occur unless testers find something unexpected. A notable problem has been identified with the status lever on the Xbox version, but the cause is known and will be fixed before the release of the aircraft console.
Flight model: The team is still fine-tuning the flaps. They have already mentioned the challenges of getting a specific stream behavior in MSFS, so they are working to find the right balance.
Avionics: Almost complete, with only minor aesthetic and functional elements waiting. Features such as WX/PLAN mode on HSI and KMD850 will be introduced in a future patch.
Exterior model: It’s complete, with just a few «useless but cool details» to add.
Interior model: The team is improving the textures, with completion scheduled for the first week of September.
Sounds: The 5-blade version is complete and the 4-blade version will be finalized after the summer break.

Your screenshot invoked me to just about congratulate you for creating such a funny (but fictional) aircraft registration just to see if anyone was paying attention.  After Googling that reg, I instead have to congratulate the owner of this REAL aircraft for that honor. 🤣

I can only imagine the hilarity that ensues when they repeat his call sign and others on the frequency sound out the two words. 😆 

They must be like "Oh F---...here comes OH-FUK"  

Can't wait to add this beauty to my virtual hangar.

This aircraft is a local one to me, always worth a laugh.

What would approval from Pilatus mean?

 

Using tradename for a quality product or is it a check on athenticity of the simulation?

 

Regardless, looks like an awesome development.

No timeline on estimated release from what I saw, but sounds like it should be soon..."soon" I guess better in quotes just in case.
